Update kernel via RPM..

Which distribution are you using?

Under Redhat, each (Redhat packaged) kernel version comes as a different
package.  Installing a new kernel version doesn't override the old one.
~ The old boot files, i.e. /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 will still be there.
~ They can be removed by manually uninstalling that particular kernel
version.
